Transcript

00:00Armie Hammer, very proudly tooting his own horn.

00:03I say proudly because he's talked about wanting

00:06to make a comeback in Hollywood after the allegations

00:10that surfaced a few years ago, you know,

00:13that he had moved to the Cayman Islands,

00:15was living there, and really seemed like he was resigned

00:18to the fact that he wasn't coming back to Hollywood.

00:20And was working at one of the resorts down there.

00:23But he is now showing off his new script,

00:27showing himself on set, filming a Western.

00:30He's doing a Western.

00:31Based on the script in his hand,

00:33it's called the Frontier Crucible.

00:35And he is, as he says, back in the saddle.

00:37Gotta say, Armie Hammer was cleared by the DA.

00:41And, you know, we talked about this before,

00:44that, you know, time passes, and unsurprising to me.

00:48Yeah, especially because he was cleared,

00:50that it makes it easier for a studio to say.

00:52Yeah, definitely.

00:53And it looks like it's a smaller independently

00:56financed film, so it's not like a huge film.

00:58But like you said, Harvey, I mean,

00:59we've covered so many actors over the years

01:02who've had these huge controversies, legal issues.

01:05I mean, Jonathan Majors, Johnny Depp,

01:07are just a few that come to mind.

01:08And at the end of the day, they all end up coming back.

01:11They all end up doing movies.

01:13And I think this is just like him

01:15dipping his toe in the water, eventually.

01:17Well, if it does well.

01:18I mean, listen, in this town, nothing succeeds like success.

01:21And if it does well, you graduate back.

01:24Hi, my name is Brandy Blanton from Dayton, Ohio.

01:27And I watched a little bit of the podcast he was on.

01:29And I found it so strange that he almost laughed

01:32at the fact that people were saying

01:34that he was eating people,

01:35because those DMs were out there for people to see.

01:38But he wasn't eating people.

01:39But he wasn't eating people.

01:40Right, he wasn't.

01:41He wasn't eating people,

01:42but it's still pretty controversial.

01:44And those DMs were kind of bad, I guess, in my opinion.

01:49But, you know, people do change,

01:50and hopefully that is the case in this situation,

01:53and not just the way to get him back into Hollywood.

01:56But, in my opinion, there's a whole lot more

01:58other people out there with a lot less controversy

02:01make famous.

02:02Yeah, but he's got credentials, you know?

02:05So, we will see.
